I've succcessfully installed debian to my HMNDCE. Everythings fine. But i think there are something unstable; when i plug device into electricity, it doesnt boot debian. ı cannot connect device via ssh or even via webmin But press power button once to restart, it restarts and boot debian.How can we fix this?

(excuse me for bad english )

Sezer.

edit: and also i tried to install open media vault manually onto debian, but it gave an error about Arm CPus. Any fix for that?

In this Debian [or ArchLinuxARM] systen, HMNHDCE's powerbutton is redefined as: Press once: After 8 seconds, system will restart network service; Press twice (In 8 seconds, after first press): After 5 seconds, system will reboot; Press triple (In 5 seconds, after second press): System will shut down immediately; This redefined depend on package screen, it already include in this system;

I am currently trying to get Debian on a 2 terra Iomega NAS.Only problem that my linux (Ubuntu) sees the HDD with a Sata to USB adapter with 4096 sector size. As soon as I run your scripts to prepare the disk I see that everything is 8 times bigger.The 32 Mb partition is 256 Mb, the 21.5 Gb partition is around 165 GB.

I am not sure that this is correct, but I checked the other script to install the bootsector, and this script is using sector numbers as addressing.

Is there anything I can solve this issue? Should I change anything in the scritps? Is there a method to change from sector size 4096 to 512?

Are you using a SATA to USB convertor? I have read that many of these use the same value for physical and logical sector size, which is 4k for an advanced format disk. So try to connect the disk directly to (e)sata.

Only problem is that I have only laptops available. I have a 6 years old laptop which I can assembly, but I am not sure that it is using the eSATA connector.

BTW, can I recover somehow the original firmware with this 4096 sector size?

Cheers,

My script used parted to create partition and used "s" as unit;You can modify the script to change unit to "B"(Byte) or "kB"(kilobyte)

& You can modify the script to change the size of first partition for rootfs.The follow is my partition info in unit "B".

I read the help of command "dd", it's used byte as unit, and default bs is 512 bytes.If you want modify this command lines, then all lines add "bs=512 ibs=512 obs=512" too.(It's "dd" command's default parameter)

I'm not confirm the seek parameter can use unit.Maybe you can modify it.

i've been trying this for a week and everything works ok, but now i want to use the original hard drive i have with original iomega firmware. Do you think it could be possible to install this without deleting the big partition of a hard drive with the original firmware?i think there's something to do with the partition table we use.

There is no way for original iomega firmware and this debian to use the same big partition with inner HDD, because the big partition of XFS in original iomega firmware doesn't work correct with this debian or archlinux.

@olderzeus - once debian.tgz is installed on the hmnhd-ce, is there an easy way to upgrade to Debian wheezy/testing?I think the kernel must be upgraded first or there will be problems with udev.I assume the new kernel must be written directly to the disk rather than using apt/aptitude?Any suggestions? Thanks.

That's not entirely true. I have posted instructions already on how to revert back to the original firmware. But I'm nit sure anymore if the data partition was lost then or not. There's something in my GitHub and search for this post I made here in the forum. At least one person did the recovery successfully I remember.
